The capital of Finland is home to some pretty beautiful and unique churches, and here are a few that you shouldn’t miss during your visit.

Helsinki Cathedral

Helsinki Cathedral is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, and a visit to this city is incomplete if you don’t see it in the flash. It’s located in the heart of Senate Square, and its beautiful green domes are impossible to miss.

Uspenski Cathedral

Uspenski Cathedral is one of the largest Orthodox churches in Western Europe, and that’s not the only thing that makes it impressive. You’ll also be in awe of its distinctive red-brick walls, which help its green domes truly stand out.

Kamppi Chapel

Kamppi Chapel became one of Helsinki’s quirkiest attractions thanks to its minimalist wooden design and it offers a place of silent reflection in the city’s vibrant Kamppi neighborhood.

Temppeliaukion Church

Temppeliaukion is also known as the Church of the Rock or Rock Church because it’s been built directly into solid rock and you have to step inside to truly appreciate its unique design.
